vonZwicky's keezer build
|
|
Alright, guys. This is where I am on the road to homebrew bliss. In an attempt to do everything completely backwards, I've decided to build my keezer first. So I bought this Frigidaire 7 cu. foot freezer:

Right now I'm just using it to keep some commercial beers cold.

That's a good start. Are you going to go with a Collar or Tower?

Thanks, Yankee Hill. I'm going with the collar approach, as you've probably already seen.
Before I go any futher, I want to give credit where credit is due. I didn't even know what a keezer was before I found this website. I spent hours reading and looking at photos of all the keezer builds that have been posted here. My inspiration has come from the great work that's been done by many of you. I'm just trying to synthesize it all and put my own spin on this "craft."

Thanks, and your right, cowgo. A keezer's a keezer. If I were walking down this road alone, I would have had this thing slapped together and operational weeks ago. As it is, I'm trying to make it nice enough that maybe SWMBO will let me move it from the loft to the main living area downstairs, where I only have to carry kegs up one flight of stairs, instead of two.

There's also a liability issue when combining drinking and so many stairs.
